The engineering departments are the basis for our future

Our engineering departments are characterised by their extensive technical and technological expertise as well as a high capacity for innovation. The work here is very varied, dealing with production machines as well as manufacturing and quality, and our staff don't just get their hands dirty with production machines or products: they are busy with analysis, planning, testing and development – as well as operating machinery.

From research to implementation

With sections such as Development, Production and Quality Engineering, engineering at Blum encompasses a wide range of activities. The different areas are closely linked – and cooperation is a top priority. Over 900 in number, our engineers don't just deal with the design and construction of tools, production machines and products, they also devote themselves to various research tasks, so securing our future with new ideas.

Production Engineering

From the initial concept to the finished machine, design engineering, manufacture and assembly of the plant components is the full responsibility of the Production Engineering department. The implementation of innovative production processes and a high degree of vertical integration is at the forefront of our work. We push the boundaries of technology to achieve maximum output.

Product Development

The task of our Product Development team is to come up with perfect fittings solutions for customers all over the world. This results in high-quality, cutting-edge products, able to fulfil stringent requirements in terms of functionality, ergonomics and design. The long service life of our products also makes them particularly sustainable.

Technology Development

"Down to the smallest detail" is our motto when it comes to developing technology solutions for parts like dampers. We also refine formulations of resistant material compositions here – our employees in Technology Development make a key contribution to the quality of our products.

Your benefits

Time for yourself

A break that moves you forward

Sometimes you just need more time for the things that matter to you and help you grow. That’s why we offer the option of taking a sabbatical. We provide flexible models that can be adapted to your individual situation. So you can take a longer break when you need it.

Learning time = working time

Our guiding principle: never stand still

We help you grow during your time at work, both on a professional and a personal level. To this end, we offer not just a comprehensive onboarding programme, but also a wealth of opportunities for continuing professional development, true to the motto “learning time = working time”.

Where and how it suits you

Working from home? Why not?

At Blum you can enjoy flexible working hours and also work from home, provided this fits with your role and team. What matters to us is how you work, not where you work.
